Abstract
In this work we examined the procedural requirements related to the sending of insane patients of Vila Vicosa to the hospital of Rilhafoles, in the second half of the 19th century, and the relationships established with the hospital of this Alentejo town relating to the payment of treatment. Faced with a severe financial crisis, the hospital of Vila Vicosa systematically refused the responsibility to send the insane patients to the Rilhafoles hospital in an attempt to pass this burden on the administration of the county, being very reluctant to pay the bills that came to him from the hospital of Sao Jose. The conflict between the two institutions came to the monarch with no other alternative than the payment, the hospital of village of the Alentejo region proceeded to sending parcels of money, albeit way too late. For the realization of this work we use the books of the Misericordia and the documents of the Civil Governor found of the city of Evora under the custody of the Distrital Archive of the same city. This documents results, basically, from the correspondence between the Misericordia of Vila Vicosa, the council administrator and the civil governor of Evora.

RESUMO: Neste trabalho analisamos os trâmites processuais respeitantes ao envio de doentes insanos de Vila Viçosa para o hospital de Rilhafoles, na segunda metade do século XIX, e as relações estabelecidas com o hospital desta vila alentejana relativamente ao pagamento do tratamento. O conflito entre as duas instituições chegou ao monarca e sem outra alternativa que a do pagamento, o hospital da vila alentejana procedeu ao envio de parcelas de dinheiro, ainda que de forma muito atrasada. Estas fontes resultam essencialmente da correspondência estabelecida entre a Misericórdia de Vila Viçosa, o administrador do concelho e o governador civil de Évora.
